Receiving "Invalid char in text." error from file adapter

I'm testing a file adapter and am receiving the following error:
Invalid char in text.
The invalid character seems to be the ascii Record Separator character, Hex 1E, HTML 

Is it possible for me to modify the file adapter schema to handle this character?

The HTML description should have been this (minus space characters)
& # x a ;

Invalid char in text.

Hi all,
I just recieved this nice error when loading a file:
Error: oracle.xml.parser.v2.XMLParseException: Invalid char in text.
Its was cause by a backspace character (^H or /b or 08). Shouldn't this be supported in utf-8???

Hi all!
I seem to be sailing in a similar boat like Mr. James!
I get an error like this,
<Line 98278, Column -13440>: XML-0221: (Fatal Error) Invalid char in text.
oracle.xml.sql.OracleXMLSQLException: Invalid char in text.
It is caused by a carriage return character.
Help Anyone?

Sunil.

Oracle.xml.parser.v2.XMLParseException: Invalid char in text. in BPEL

Hi,
Non Recoverable Business Fault :
<bpelFault><faultType>1</faultType><operationErroredFault xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/bpel/workflow/taskService"><part name="payload"><operationErroredFault xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/bpel/workflow/taskService"><faultInfo>oracle.xml.parser.v2.XMLParseException: Invalid char in text.</faultInfo></operationErroredFault></part></operationErroredFault></bpelFault>
I got the above error before calling to human task from my BPEL process. Any idea?

Assuming this is SOA Suite 11g. Did you start the WLS with UTF8? Is your database using UTF8?
Nothing else is supported.
If you are on unix.
$ export LANG="en_US.utf8"
$ export LC_ALL="en_US.utf8"
Then locale should display something like this
$ locale
LANG=en_US.utf8
LC_CTYPE="en_US.utf8"
LC_COLLATE="en_US.utf8"
LC_MONETARY="en_US.utf8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_US.utf8"
LC_TIME="en_US.utf8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_US.utf8"
LC_ALL=en_US.utf8
And then you should be able to start the SOA Suite correctly.

More than 1 line of text when using text generator from file?

hi
have 8 line blocks of text to show onscreen.
would like to use text generatorn>from file
all they seem to print is one line.
is there a work around?
have trhied soft returns and paragraphs on saved text file.
no change.
anyonre know how to get 2 or more lines of text?
thanks in addvance!

Select the File generator layer and in the Inspector, select the Layout pane and in Layout controls, set the Layout Method to Paragraph. Narrow your margins and the text will "flow" into multiple lines.
You can also keyframe the paragraph layout position. [Probably more info than you want here.]
That said, you can only display *one line* at a time per File Generator. (If you're up to date with Motion [v5.1.2], you can use more than one File generator.) The generator does not accept any other characters for returns other than newline and carriage return.
I've never tried it, but thinking about it, you can set Tab stops in the Paragraph layout (double click in the layout rectangle and a ruler should appear over the top -- right click on the ruler to set tabs). If you go back into the original text file and where you need to break lines into two or more, setting a left tab stop in the layout very near the end of a line might force the tabbed text into the next line (did I make that clear enough??)

Error from BPE Adapter using in Async Sync scenario

Hi,
I'm trying to use a Asyn Sync pattern with BPM:
1)File adapter get a file from AS400, split it several XML messages and send to XI(Async)
2)XI get each message and forward to BPM using XI adapter
3)BPM has to send the message to R/3 via BAPI (Sync)
4)R/3 reply the result message to BPM(Sync)
5)BPM has to send the result message to e-mail system if an error had occurred in BAPI call (Async)
When I send directly from File adapter to R/3 works like a charm, but when I want use the BPM, a soap header error says to me, that cannot identify a data type that Im using in the message sent by File adapter.
The error that I'm getting is BPE Adapter UNKNOWN_MESSAGE in soap header.

I got the same problem after installing new patches.
This is what I had to do:
Go to SXI_CACHE
- Choose Business Processes
- select your Buisness Process
If your buisness process has Return Code 99
- Click "Repeate Activate" button
- On the next screen, click Activate again.
This worked for me. Good Luck!

OS commands from File adapter Trace logs?

Hi All,
I am running some UNIX OS commands from File adapter as showing in below Blog.
Problem is that in SXMB_MONI & in Runtime workbench I can not see any Trace logs written by those UNIX OS commands.
Even I am writing echo messages.
Runtime Workbench says only OS command file executed.
Please guide me where I can see OS trace if some OS command fails?
Any transaction code even at BASIS level exist?
Or the only other way round exist is I need to write log into some files.

I think no solution, other then writing ABAP code using RFC SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE and put log/trace in some table/application.

How to transform data received from file adapter

hi',
I am reading the data from XML file using file adapter, now I want to write the same contents which I have read from this file to a different/new XML file, the issue is I am unable to perform a transform here, when I use a transform with source element as the output of the file read and target as the input to the new file it is writing an empty file,
I have checked the audit trail which showsme that the transform is empty.
please tell me how can I transform the element which I have received from one file to make them as input to next file
thanks
Yatan

thanks James for input, this is my XML and XSD files
XML file:
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<xsd:schema xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"

I am reading XML file, I will describe my process.
1.) File adapter>read operation ---> receive activity
2.) Transform > source(receive input variable) <--->target(Invoke input variable)
3.) File adapter > write operation ---> invoke activity
Now when I am deploying this process it is sucessfully completing and able to read the file.
when I check the audit trail receive activity shows XML data but when I check the transform it
shows empty as below, however the write activity is performed which creates a xml file but no values in the elements
transform in audit trail

IPhone 5S not receiving sound or vibrate text alerts from Android phones

I have recently noticed on my iPhone 5s, that when someone with an android phone sends a text message to me, there is no sound alert or vibration, even though both are set to on position. The problem does not occur for calls or email alerts, only text alerts and it does not happen when another iPhone user texts me. I am fully updated to iOS 8.1.2, I have restarted my phone. Any thoughts as to why only the texting alerts are affected and only from Android users? Thanks!

I think we do in fact have a similar problem. When my phone is in sleep mode is when it doesn't always produce phone rings and never gives text alerts. I just verified this by having my assistant call and text me from her Verizon Galaxy phone and call me from our office land line. From sleep mode my iPhone didn't ring with the first phone call from her cell or her first text message, but the text message did arrive. She said my phone went straight to voicemail on the call and the text showed as delivered. The land line test call did ring my iPhone. A second attempt to call my sleeping iPhone from her cell phone did result in my phone ringing. A second text attempt had the same result as the first, no alert, but the text did arrive. A third text attempt with my phone not in sleep mode resulted in a text alert with the arrival of the text. I did the same test, calling and texting my phone, with another iPhone 5s. My phone rang from sleep mode but didn't give a text alert.
So, it would seem that this is mostly a text alert issue only when the phone is in sleep mode. I'm going to review all my settings and failing finding something there that solves the problem I may call AT&T (if I am feeling patient). I'll report back if I find a solution.

Error on file adapter (GENERAL_ERROR on XI_J2EE_ADAPTER_XI_HANDLER )

Hi Experts,
I have just configured a sender file adapter with content conversion in a PI 7.0. I will try to explain the problem:
1. I put the text file on the selected folder, to be taken.
2. The file is taken from the folder and archived in the archive folder.
Until here everything works fine, but from here:
- I can't watch the message in the sxmb_moni
- I can watch the message in the message monitoring in the Runtime Workbench. Here I can even see the XML well formed(the text file have been processed correctly)
The error log:
Message Data

Engine Adapter Engine
{Status System Error
Repeatable Yes
Cancelable Yes
Error Category XI_J2EE_ADAPTER_XI_HANDLER

Does anybody know where will be the error?

Error in File Adapter: no alert generated

Hi folks,
I have a problem with monitoring our file adapters.
In one scenario we occasionally get the following error:
Fehler bei der Konvertierung des Dateiinhalts in XML an Position 0: java.lang.Exception: ERROR converting document line no. 2 according to structure 'eTSFlatDetailStructure':java.lang.Exception: ERROR in configuration / structure 'eTSFlatDetailStructure.': More elements in file csv structure than field names specified!
So I have build an alert category with me as recipient and an alert rule in Runtime Workbench with the following attributes:
- Rule active
- Alert-category as I have created above
- Bound to Message: no
- Error occures in Adapter Engine -> File Adapter
I have tested the Category... it works... but the rule does not fire any alert.
Has anyone an idea how to solve this problem?
Thanks

Text Content Conversion - File Adapter - Creates empty file

I am running XI 7.0.
Mapping from abap proxy to file - text content conversion.
The process works, generates and sends file from mySAP, maps through XI, logs onto ftp site and creates file, but doesn't write any data into the file!
I am really confused as to what is happening!
This is taken from the communication channel!

hi,
this is starange:)
did you refresh FTP (F5) ?
maybe you're checking wrong ftp server? with the same folders ?
ups - I thought I doens't create any file...
as suggested check your mapping as per my blog:
/people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2005/09/16/xi-how-to-test-your-mapping-in-real-life-scenarios
just use TCODe for abap mapping tests - SXI_MAPPING_TEST

Read File identified by filename from File Adapter

Hi all,
is there any way to read a file (which is identified by a given name) by using the file adapter.
My scenario is the following:
Webservice -> PI -> File
I call PI via a Webservice. The webservice call contains the filename of the file that i'd like to receive as response. Is it possible to realize this scenario with PI - from my experience it is not possible. But i would appreciate if you have some alternative solutions for me.
BR,
Martin

Hi Martin,
you can't achieve required functionality by standard File adapter; you need to write adapter module to achieve it.
SAP says
If you are developing a module for the sender file/FTP adapter and want to access the file name, see SAP Note 819761
below is the link for Adapter module generation which might help.
